For The Love Of Six Yards – Part 2

Sakhi Fashions offer sarees for both formal occasions as
well as for a relaxed and casual evening out. For instance, their Kanchi sarees are a class apart.
Kancheepuram silk sarees have a rich history behind them. Draping a Kanchi
saree instantly gives an opulent and royal look to any woman. No doubt, Kanchi
sarees have always been on the wishlist of any saree connoisseur and in many
families, the Kanchi sarees of mothers and grandmothers are preserved gently
and passed on from one generation to the next with great care and love.

However, if you are looking for something a little more affordable, then I would suggest Sakhi Fashion’s chiffon sarees. Bright, trendy and vibrant, their chiffon sarees are not only pocket friendly but they will definitely make you stand out in a crowd.

I’ve always been a fan of women-led businesses and was
delighted to learn that the entrepreneurs behind Sakhi Fashions are a
mother-daughter duo! Chandra and Neeta Rajendran have
been in the Indian ethnic wear business for quite some time and over the years
they seem to have built Sakhi into a one stop shop for all your fashion needs.
Not just online but in fact, they even have physical stores in Bangalore and
Hyderabad.

What’s more, I found it heartening to know that like me, Neeta too
has switched career tracks from Engineering to another field (which happens to
be Journalism in my case and Fashion Designing in Neeta’s) because she wanted
to follow her heart. It’s heart-warming indeed to come across a business that
is being run so efficiently and successfully by a mother-daughter pair, thanks
to their passion for design and fashion. It certainly wouldn’t be surprising if
they soon become one of the top names among Indian saree designers in my opinion! Go girl power!

They have such an amazing range of sarees that it is quite
difficult to pick one to be honest! I have at times felt that the world of online
saree shopping hasn’t quite kept pace with the online shopping boom.
While it is easy to shop for western wear, books, toys and electronics online,
the choices for reliable and dependable online saree shopping is somewhat
limited. Hence, it was really satisfying to come across Sakhi Fashions with
their user friendly website and wide variety of designer
sarees.

Actually, even my family members were initially sceptical when
I told them that I have ordered a saree from Sakhi Fashions. However, once they
saw the saree in person, they admitted that their fears were misplaced. So once again, if you are looking for a saree which will win you over right away, do check out Sakhi Fashions on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram.
